MORE DYNAMITE.
An Attempt, Which Luckily Failed, to
Blow Up the Chicago Criminal Court
with q Dyna mite Bomb.


An Attempt, Which Luckily Failed, to
Blow Up the Chicago Criminal Court
with a. Dynamite Bomb.
CHICAGO, July "A dynamite bomb,
fully charged, and with the fuse burned
to within quarter of an inch of the shell
was found under Judge Bakers desk in
the Criminal Court last Tuesday evening
Court officials and all the authorities
about the court building are bewildered
at the thought of what diabolical vllainy
was contemplated by the man who placed
the murderous machine where it was
found. The matter has been kept quiet
for purposes of investigation. Judge
Baker presides in the room where the an
archists were tried and condemned. He
said to reporter yesterday:
81 was swinging around in my chair
when, all at once, I saw at the corner Of
my desk what thought was baseball.
After giving it a kick, and seeing it roll
about in an odd fashion, l picked it up.
At once / saw I was mistaken and that it
was not baseball I handed it to
Bailiff Ryce, and, after one look at 1t. he
exclaimed, Heavens, that's bomb "
Judge Barker declared that he had no
idea where the bomb came from, nor
could he divine any reason why 1T should
have been placed under his desk. 81
know it wasn't intended for me-" he said,
sit couldn't have BEEN"
The bomb is made of block tin and glass
and resem bles bran new baseball, but
is much lighter. On one side OF it there
is stout rubber band which protects an
opening, out of which projects a small
piece of fuse. It contained a substance
resembling damp gray sand, which IS I'm
estionably dynamite. 1t is the same
kind of missile that was used at the Hay
market riot, but is much lighter than the
lead bombs Lingg manufactured.
The court officials believe it was intend
ed to destroy by dynamite the main court
room and those who happened to be IN it
at the time.

PRAYING FOR RAIN.

A Serious Drought Running the Crops and
Islightins the Prospects of the Farmers
of Western Illinois.
Rock ISLAND, ILL.,, July 1.-The religious
NEE ting at Cambridge Tuesday at which
prayers were offered up to heaven for
rain, has been followed by others of a
similar character, though perhaps not so
largely attended, in different parts Of
Henry County.
In many localities where stock and
crops are suffering and almost perishing
for water, the farmers are in despair, and
while the more religiously- inciine1 find
consolation in prayer and hope in the re-
suit thereof, the others, in whom the faith
abideth not, are driven almost to despera-
ton.
Wells have been dug wherever there
was the least indication of water below
the surface in order to supply the famlsh-
ed stock, but for The crops nothing but
rain can provide, and unless that comes
soon there will be a total loss of late
crops this season.
The need of rain is also severely felt in
certain parts Of Rock Island County, and
in some places the suffering Of cattle is
pitiful. There was a light rain yesterday,
and while it only moistened the parched
vegetation, it was hailed with delight.

Good Civil-seryice Doctrine.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-The CiviI-Service
Commission have made an important
order in regard to what constitutes par
tisanship in the service. The case in point
was that of Edward E. Neale, of Indiana.
In April, Neale, a clerk in the Adlutant'
Generals office, War Department, was
dismissed from the service on account OF
activity in politics. It appears that he
was Republican candidate for the
Legislature, and declined at the IN.
stance of his superiors to withdraw
his name, whereupon he was dismissed.
The commission hold that Eeale was only
exercising his rights as citizen, and that
unless his candidacy detracted from his
eff ciency as clerk, which was not al.
legged or shown, that his dismissa al was
improper from causes stated The com.
mission therefore hold that Neale IS still
a clerk of the department and is eligible
for examin alton. Had N ale neglected
his duties in the interests OF his candl
dature,'' explained Com missioner Oberly,
sthat would have constituted partisan
ship, but his mere candidacy did not"
